Something to consider for the future of LCS/CS

First point would have the Challenger Series (CS) be treated more seriously, like have the games at the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) studio (but on different days) and expand the teams to be at minimum matching the amount of teams in the LCS.

Next point is have the LCS teams have two teams, one for LCS and one for CS, this way organizations can pull up players and bring down players when someone is over performing and under performing respectively, kind of like how traditional sports work. This would mean relegation will be removed entirely, allows organizations to grow a fanbase this way and for the scene overall to grow since fans no longer need to worry of a team disappearing from the face of the earth so they can see their team's growths and struggles every split/season.

If this was hockey, I watch mostly only one team, and like seeing how well or poorly the team does and if done poorly see how they improve for the next season during the off-season shake up. Because right now LCS is not allowing that growth for teams to even happen especially with the scene moving towards trading players, benching them, and bringing up new talent, etc. Creating a more steady environment I think would make the scene to be more long-term.

the reason alot of challenger teams are not owned so to speak is so anyone can form and get into and eventually get into the LCS if they and there team are good enough, this brings up new talent which the current teams then usually acquire and/or gives said team time to secure sponsors if there heading to the LCS.

Not realistic anymore, so we need to move into a more proper pro scene and just bring up rookies from solo queue for new talent and we can make challenger taken more seriously as a type of resume to get into the challenger series / LCS (and the other leagues across the globe)

A fresh rookie team is impossible to get into the LCS now because they cannot get the resources or money to do it, and LCS teams will be taken over by rich organizations that want to be in the scene. Rather than make team names a thing, just make it about individual players trading between teams and bringing up new talent.

there are rumours of the LCS becoming franchised, as in the teams are locked in no relegation (like pro sports)
